    I will forgive you the first time you tell me that you are sorry... after the second or third time you tell me you are sorry... I start to wonder weather or not you will ever learn your lesson!!!

    Only once if the apology was sincere and the offence does not happen over and over again.

    Once if they mean it. If they don't mean it, it doesn't matter how many times they repeat it, it's noise.

    Once is enough, though with my attention span, they might have to say it again. :)

    depends how many times you hear it, it can become just a word without meaning as things go back to how they were before. it should only be once if the person really thought as much of you as they say they do, but unfortunately this isn`t always the case

    Sometimes "I'm Sorry" just doesn't cut it. Sometimes the wrong can not be righted by two words. Just like you've probably heard a thousand times before, "Actions Speak Louder Than Words." And they do. Personally, I have to see some changes being made, and see the correction of such actions that require an apology before I accept that the person really is sorry.

    It depends on the thing to forgive. Otherwise, once, if the apology really seems sincere.

    Apologies get old, if you hear them enough. You start not to accept them from certain people who have reoccurring things to be sorry for.

    saying one is sorry is not enough. one has to follow that i am sorry with the statement that they will change and it will not happen again. and if does happen again, sorry wont be enough to erase the failure...the will have to be consequences attached. kids feel they can just say they are sorry and get off...but that is not the case with me...i want to hear more.
